YUM! Because the food is so much like my mama's, it brought tears to my eyes-especially the fried potatoes. I loved the soup beans, slaw, fried okra, and cornbread. My husband's turkey and dressing was great as well. read more

I was expecting more. For a place that is called farm to fork- none of the food seemed to be that fresh or local. They have lemon juice packets for iced tea. Now how hard is it to cut some lemons? The tea tasted stale anyway. The fried mushrooms tasted like they came out of the freezer. The food was just meh. And there is NO music playing- same as I have noticed in most restaurants in Mount Vernon. You people have the Renfro Valley Music Center here!!! You should have some good background music - it's just nice. Sigh. read more

I love coming here for breakfast, it feels like home and food is always good. Service is good and everything is clean. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. OVERPRICED and they Tacked on 27% GRATUITY on my 11 year old daughter!!!!!Don't get me wrong...everyone was really nice and service was good, but food is over priced and not that good!!!! My daughter was on a youth group trip. She's young, saw a $12 "steak" on the menu and it was just hamburger...i'm looking at the leftovers right now. She also ordered peas for her side and she described them as light colored and not tasting like any peas she has had before. Sounds like canned to me as she has only had fresh or frozen peas in our home so, I'm glad we gave her a $20 bill, because it was $12 meal + $3 for a soda + $4 gratuity. It was a large group so that is fine to put on gratuity....just never heard of 27%. Avoid. read more

We love eating here wonderful home cooked food and great service. We always make it a stop when we're in the area.

I love when I get to have breakfast there. The pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream with a side of bacon is delicious!!

Great food service and atmosphere. I had the chicken & dumplings, fried okra, sliced tomato and fried corn bread. Wife had the pinto beans, and fried potatoes. Would highly recommend this establishment. Our server was outstanding. It is a little off I75 but we'll worth it. read more

Great food, friendly service, reasonably priced. Sevice is outstanding. Gps directions are awful.

Great Food and Awesome Owner & Staff! We have been here several times with various church groups! Love Marcella's!

Excellent service. Yummy fresh organic food. Takes credit cards. Right of the highway and pllenty of parking.

If you are a fan of good food but amazing service, Marcella's is the place for you! First off, the interior is very charming, country industrial, if that makes sense. You will be greeted by warm staff and invited to choose your own table. The menu is quite diverse and I asked for recommendations for a good sandwich and I opted for a BLT with a fried green tomato. My friend opted for the Philly cheese steak. The one caveat is I would not recommend ordering iced tea as apparently the water in the area is quite funky. And after tasting the iced tea I can confirm that it really affects the flavor. So opt for a soft drink or some coffee maybe (which we had later on and was excellent). The Philly was very well seasoned and flavorful, the BLT with the fried green tomato was pretty decent. My friend extolled the virtues of the crispy but tender crinkle cut fries and the onion petals were quite good as well. But in all honesty the service was top notch and the absolute star of the meal. Realizing that the iced tea wasn't what we expected, our server went out of her way to offer something better and checked on us several times to make sure it was satisfactory. There is an incredible balance of friendliness and professionalism here that you don't find very often anymore. So next time I'm traveling through this area, I will definitely stop by and look forward to trying more of the wholesome, good food on the menu and enjoy more of that great service and country charm. read more

Wow this is a hidden gem! We went to Renfro Valley to a concert looking for someplace to eat. Found this little place and it was great! Service was great, food was excellent we will be back! Thank for making our date night complete. read more

Stopped here on our way to Norris lake and so glad we did. Cute place about 3 miles off I 75. Staff were very friendly and attentive. I had the chicken fried steak with mash and corn and it was delicious. The meat was tender and fried to Perfection mash were homemade and yummy. My husband had the special of the day which was fried catfish fried and Hush puppies and it too was fried perfectly and tasty. Came with slaw also very good. Did I forget to say the fried cornbread was A++++. Definitely worth stopping if your in the area. read more

Marcella's Farm to Fork - Baked spaghetti and garlic bread delicious! - American Near Me - Mount Vernon, Kentucky

Every time I make a trip back home, I'm guilty of having my mom or dad's home cooking. A few weeks ago during my visit, my dad's girlfriend directed me to this place. To begin, I've only had breakfast here & it was fantastic! They also have lunch & dinner menus(I've been told good things). I'm always surprised when going back home that there aren't many legitimate restaurants. There are plenty of touristy spots... Cumberland Lake/Falls, Cedar Creek Lake, Renfro Valley, access to the Sheltowee Trace Trail, & tons of other notable places. There's not a shortage of your typical fast food chains as well as a few select diners(a few of them that still let people smoke inside!). That's why I was so surprised when trying this place(which is smoke free & very clean). Marcella's Farm to Fork is just the right size. The employees make you feel like you're walking into your own house by how comfortable they make you feel. I should've taken a picture of the menu, but unfortunately I didn't. I will take a picture the next time I'm in & upload it to Yelp. I ended up ordering sausage biscuit, bacon, & eggs. They have everything breakfast so you'll definitely be able to find something. If I remember correctly, my portion of the meal was in the 4-5 dollar range. Half way through my meal, I decided to check-in on Yelp! That's when I noticed that this place was nowhere to be found on Yelp! This spot is truly a gem for that area. Any tourists out there looking for breakfast while traveling through... definitely stop here for breakfast! You won't be disappointed! read more

Freshest, hottest food I had in years! This hidden jewel is well worth the side trip. Home style cooking at its best and reasonably priced to boot! read more

We called ahead to make sure they were able to accommodate a large party for dinner. They were ready for all 26 of us when we arrived. The waitresses were great and so was the food! Great family friendly atmosphere! read more

We love to eat at restaurants with great reviews on Yelp . While the driving directions weren't accurate... we called the restaurant a d they gave us simple directions which was just a matter of turning right instead of left . While the appearance of the place doesn't look like much . This small restaurant in which looked like a small farm town served GREAT FOOD! Service was great, large portions and reasonable prices read more

Love this restaurant!!! Food is always fresh, staff is super friendly, and the price is great! I will say that their mashed potatoes can be hit or miss (I've heard it depends on who makes it); sometimes they taste like potatoes mashed with no additional flavor (i.e. butter and salt). But everything else is wonderful! read more

Absolutely worth the drive off the highway. Best fried green tomatoes I have ever had with homemade ranch. Grilled chicken sandwich, pulled pork sandwich and meatloaf were all amazing. I was driving back from North Carolina and wanted to find something local on my way home to Indiana. The service was fantastic and the staff is so friendly. Also try the pie if they have any. read more

Awesome service with lovely people. Food is good and very cheap. Can fill two people for twenty bucks. Love that they have liver on the menu and local farmer style foods. American kitchen style but week made with good ingredients. 4 out of 5 coz mac and cheese was meh but potatoes and chicken size made up for it. Left full and happy. Love small local restaurant. read more

We love eating at Marcellas. The food is always delicious. If you're close or passing by, it's a must. Breakfast is my favorite but lunches and dinners are also superb ! Best biscuits and gravy around. The Rocket burger is a great lunch and the salads are huge ! It's great to have a place close to home where we can enjoy home cooking and service with a genuine smile. Prices are very reasonable. You will want to come back. read more

The food is great - we had fried mushrooms, fried green tomatoes- the crust was delicious- then chicken livers, mashed potato's and corn- the dinners come with cornbread- all made from scratch- the husband had chicken strips, baked potatoes and fresh tomatoes- all ready good - we ended the meal with a homemade buttermilk pie - LOTS of leftovers- so food for at least two days - the portions are not skimpy - the waitress was very nice also - will definitely come back - we googled this place and came about 5 miles off I-74 - definitely worth the drive - a delicious little bite of country home cooking! read more

Friendly people, but incredibly small portions and you're lucky if you get a refill! Food is just OK, pretty bland and under seasoned for sure. And honestly I wouldn't describe this place as "farm to fork", you couldn't taste anything fresh in any of our meal. All in all I probably won't be back! read more

Yummy food! Really awesome people! We stopped in to have lunch and the fried pickles are homemade! Good ranch dressing and we love good ice! They have the cubed ice! The pie was homemade, the country fried steak and fried cornbread was spot on! Ample parking, great decor, comfortable and homey! We will be back! read more

Holy fried cornbread! I know this was served to Jesus at the last super! I would want it at mine. Better than any fritter, pancake, bread, anything ever! I will marry the maker! The fried taters were perfect and just like my dad's. Corn was golden and yellow, not steamable overcooked brown swimming in butter, must say I'm not a Mac n cheese fan, however, the noodle was still firm and the cheese sauce perfect. The country fried steak was 2 legit 2 quit: the gravy was homemade as it wasn't bright white and had a brownish color to it the way real pan gravy is supposed to. Real deal y'all. Prices were right. It's comfort food and homey. Skip cracker barrell, gas stations and fast foods. Now to the reason we give these reviews. We will all return for mediocre food if service is great! We won't go back for good food if service is horrible. This place has both, friendly service, my waitress smiled a lot, was tentative, kempt, and on it and my food was well crappy, haha just kidding, if I was home alone I would have used my finger to swipe the plate until no more gravy existed. To my family that Burys me someday please do so with the fried cornbread from here. I want to spend eternity with it. #friedcornbreadhasmyheart read more
